Beef Pot Pie Recipe
- 2 lbs. London broil, cubed or possibly stew beef
- 1/4 c. flour
- 2 tbsp. beef fat or possibly butter
- 1 lg. potato, peeled & diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 sm. green pepper, diced
- 1 lg. onion, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 quart. beef stock
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
- Salt & pepper
- Cube the London broil, dredge in flour and brown quickly in some of the beef fat.
- Then transfer the meat to a pot with all the vegetables except the mushrooms.
- Add in the bay leaf, thyme, beef stock and Worcestershire sauce.
- Simmer till the vegetables are cooked and the meat is tender.
- Saute/fry mushrooms in beef fat or possibly butter, throw the "dredge" flour in and cook out a roux.
- Take some stock from the beef pot to thin out the roux, then add in it back to the pot till the desired consistency is reached.
- It will thicken some if allowed to cook longer.
- This may be baked in a two-crust pie, but I usually make a pastry hat which sits on top of a deep dish pie, or possibly of individual serving dishes.
- Roll out pastry dough and cut the tops, in circles from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, to fit your own dishes.
- Slash them for decoration, or possibly make a decorative top-knot with pie dough scraps.
- Brush with an egg wash (whole egg slightly beaten) and bake the crusts till golden at 450 degrees for 10 to 15 min.
- Serves 6.
